Dana Hathaway is the first Faeriewalker in decades, which
means she can take magic into the mortal world and working
technology into Faerie. However, instead of being honored
for her unique status, Dana has to stay protected from both
Queens of Faerie, as they want her dead. This involves
hiding out in a bunker-like cave and listening to her
currently-sober mother argue with her indomitable Fae
father about homeschooling vs public schooling and other
aspects of her safety. In addition, Dana is trying to get
over the multiple betrayals of her not-boyfriend Ethan and
discovers herself over her head in negotiations with the
scary and sexy Erlking.
Everyone's got secrets, and no one wants to share, even if
the sharing might be in everyone's
best interests: not only does SHADOWSPELL reveal the
continuation of Dana's adventures from Glimmerglass, the
work investigates the themes of prevarication and
revelation: what is the line between standing on one's own
and stubborn secret-keeping?
Cleverly written, SHADOWSPELL allows readers to enjoy a
swift fantasy that weaves in the real-life concerns of its
young protagonist.
On top of spending most of her time in a bunkerlike safe house and having her dates hijacked by a formidable Fae bodyguard, Faeriewalker Dana Hathaway is in for some more bad news: the Erlking and his pack of murderous minions known as the Wild Hunt have descended upon Avalon. With his homicidal appetite and immortal powers, the Erlking has long been the nightmare of the Fae realm. A fragile treaty with the Faerie Queen, sealed with a mysterious spell, is the one thing that keeps him from hunting unchecked in Avalon, the only place on Earth where humans and Fae live together. Which means Dana's in trouble, since it's common knowledge that the Faerie Queen wants her and her rare Faeriewalker powers dead. The smoldering, sexy Erlking's got his sights set on Dana, but does he only seek to kill her, or does he have something much darker in mind?
